Appendix: Occupational DescriptionsThe primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’ s wage surveys is to a s s i s t its

field sta ff in classify ing into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishm ent and from area to area. This is e ssen tia l in order to permit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’ s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’ s field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
